Chardonnay Alexander Valley New French Oak

2004 Alexander Valley Chardonnay

The Simi Chardonnay from the Alexander Valley showcases the elegance of a well-crafted white wine. This 2004 vintage presents a beautiful pale gold color, inviting you to indulge in its luxurious profile. The wine is medium-bodied with a delightful balance of acidity, providing a refreshing vibrancy that lifts the palate. You'll notice the prominent fruit intensity, characterized by bright notes of green apple, pear, and hints of tropical fruits, complemented by the rich layers of vanilla and spice imparted from new French oak aging. The mouthfeel is smooth, with a subtle presence of well-integrated tannins that adds to its complexity. As a wonderfully dry wine, it pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for any occasion. This Chardonnay embodies the craftsmanship of the Alexander Valley, delivering an enjoyable experience with every sip.

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
